They seem to have changed the entrace requirements. They now specify exact requirements for each stream as opposed to the old comps where you needed a level 8 qualification in a relevant area (business, accounting, law or economics) or a professional qualification.

Yeah seems to be a lot more restrictive qualification wise

OutForTender · 05-12-2019 6:01pm

I wonder how strict they will be?

Some Accounting degrees might cover a lot of Tax modules. While some Law might cover a lot of Economics.

Business covers everything depending on module choice but they get no shout here apparently.

Yeah they seem kinda arbitrary. The one for tax is especially weird. The only level 8 qualification for tax in the country is the B.A in Applied Taxation in UL, which is only open to Revenue Audit staff. There's also a masters in tax with UL and obviously the CTA qualification. So to apply for that stream you would need to hold one of those qualifications as opposed to a general accounting or business degree.

Incidentally is there anyone here from previous AO comps who got in on the economics stream?

Rikand · 07-12-2019 10:35am

Ah sure we'll apply for the analytics and statistics stream again. Sure why not

So it's just the surveymonkey link they wish to be submitted for now?

That's it. You wont be asked to present anything until the supervised tests if it's like other campaigns

splashuum · 12-12-2019 7:11pm

In relation to the level 8 requirement, Do they contact the college for proof of this? Or ask the applicant for results?

OutForTender · 12-12-2019 8:16pm

They ask to see your original degree

Degree or scripts of results?

OutForTender · 12-12-2019 8:50pm

I think they asked for both at different times.

Does anyone know what the next stage might be? I know there were a few possibilities on the information booklet.

marmieB · 11-01-2020 7:05pm

The requirement that people must be available to work from March 2020, makes me hope they'll forget the aptitude test bit and go straight to interviewðŸ˜

I'm joking!!!!

Has anybody heard back from the Survey Monkey element?

I can only imagine that once the campaign starts it will be rapid in order for people to be processed, panelled and offered jobs in time to work notice and start in March.

Anonire · 13-01-2020 11:48am

I received a confirmation last week that my application had been received. I think that is probably all you get from the survey monkey part of it.

I think it will move quickly too when it gets going.

Zulu Art · 13-01-2020 9:14pm

Same here. I guess they'll send a form to me in due course. Best of luck

flowergirlxx · 14-01-2020 9:03pm

Hi all, anyone know of any websites to practice tests?

I just received an email last week to say they received my survey monkey application so I was just wondering if there’s a way to get practicing?

It might not even be an aptitude test. There were several different things listed maybe they will use a different method to shortlist this time. However I think they have used cut e test in previous competitions.

I wonder when we will hear back.

Ollie321 · 17-01-2020 12:24pm

I'm surprised that we haven't heard anything yet, anyone have any idea when it might be?

I was just thinking the same myself.

Zulu Art · 21-01-2020 12:49pm

Anybody hear anything after the survey monkey acknowledgement yet? This March start must be the end of March.

MiggyB · 23-01-2020 12:02am

Invite to next stage should be out tomorrow or friday

flowergirlxx · 23-01-2020 11:28am

Got my email to complete the assessments this morning

splashuum · 23-01-2020 3:48pm

Anywhere to practise this assessment ?

autumnbelle · 25-01-2020 8:28am
